2 Assessing your system and meeting system requirements This chapter helps you meet various requirements, as well as assess the current state of your system prior to cold-installing or updating to HP-UX 11i v3.
System requirements To cold-install or update HP-UX 11i v3, you must have the following: • A supported system. See “Supported systems” (page 11) and “Identifying the model” (page 15). • HP-UX 11i v3 OE and Application Software (also known as “Application Release”) DVDs. • 1.5 GB memory, minimum. NOTE: The minimum memory limit is intended for running the HP-UX 11i v3 Base OE and minimal applications. Additional memory will be required for optimal performance, and optional software and applications.
The list below provides additional hints and information to help you determine your disk needs for HP-UX 11i v3. If you need more disk space, be sure to order the equipment and plan on installing it after backing up your current system. • Record the hardware path to the DVD drive.
Table 3 Minimum disk space recommendations1 Partition/file system Recommended space / 1 GB /stand 1.5 GB /var 8.5 GB /usr 4 GB /tmp 500 MB /opt 7 GB /home Depends on application and user requirements. It might make sense to mount a separate file system at /home.2 /swap 1x - 2x memory size for most systems. Itanium EFI System (Boot) Partition 500 MB Itanium HP Service Partition 400 MB 1 2 These are recommended minimums and are estimates only.
Also note that the above mentioned limits are applicable for boot disks only. For data disk limits, refer to the respective component (LVM or VxVM) documentation at http://www.hp.com/go/ hpux-LVM-VxVM-docs. Verifying supported network drivers, mass storage drivers, I/O cards, and storage devices Before installing HP-UX 11i v3, make sure that the drivers, I/O cards, and storage devices on your system are supported.

Go to http://www.hp.com/go/myhpalerts. Follow the instructions to register each of your products. Identifying model, release, and installed software Before you cold-install or update to HP-UX 11i v3, you need to identify the model of your system and other information.
HPUX11i-BOE B.11.31.1109 HP-UX Base Operating Environment The above revision string signifies the following: B.11.31 = HP-UX 11i v3 1109 = September 2011 Update Release Identifying installed software Identifying installed software can serve more than one purpose: on your system, it can help you determine what software will get updated or overwritten; and on media, it can help you determine your software choices. To identify the software products on a system or media, use swlist.
3 Choosing your installation methods This chapter provides information and scenarios to help you choose the most appropriate methods to install or update HP-UX 11i v3 on your system.
Choosing cold-install or update Now that you have evaluated your system and ordered any needed hardware, you need to decide whether to cold-install or update to HP-UX 11i v3 on your system. When to cold-install Cold-install means installing system software on a new (uninstalled) or existing system by completely rebuilding the root volume group, erasing the existing operating system and data on that volume, and installing the new operating system and specified software and data.
• Each system has a unique configuration. • Current disk space is sufficient for HP-UX 11i v3. Note, however, that you can use Dynamic Root Disk to address disk space limitations that would otherwise prevent you from updating. See “Determining disk space requirements” (page 11). An advantage of performing an update is that it leaves user data, configuration, and applications in place. Updating to HP-UX 11i v3 is limited to the supported paths listed in “Supported update paths” (page 19).
Please see the 'Supported Update Paths' section of the HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide for more information. Choosing an installation source When cold-installing or updating your systems, you have several installation sources from which to choose. You can cold-install or update directly from the DVDs, copy the contents of the DVDs into network depots, or create a golden image of the desired system for installing many similar systems.
Deploy a customized system configuration to many systems. Avoid manual media swaps. Speed up installation time for multiple systems. Simply put, a golden image is built by setting up a single system the way you want all of your systems to look, and then creating an image of that system. Once a golden image has been created, it is then deployed to multiple clients.
4 Before you begin This chapter describes the steps you must take before actually cold-installing or updating to HP-UX 11i v3. It also describes situations that you must carefully consider before you cold-install and/or update.
Reviewing known problems Before beginning any cold-install or update process, you must review the descriptions of harmless messages and known problems provided for you in Appendix A: “Harmless messages and known problems” (page 73). These known problems notes include, but are not limited to, issues with cold-installing and/or updating to HP-UX 11i v3. You can also find other late-breaking news of issues at the HP Support Center (http://hp.com/go/hpsc).
Part I: Creating an operating system recovery image To protect your system data, create an operating system (OS) recovery image: • The Ignite-UX server has two commands you can use to create an OS recovery image: ◦ ◦ make_net_recovery – Create an OS recovery image and store it on an Ignite-UX server on the network. – Works on any system that has Ignite-UX installed. – See “Choosing make_net_recovery” (page 24). make_tape_recovery – Create an OS recovery image on a bootable recovery tape.
You can run make_tape_recovery locally on the system from which you are trying to make an OS recovery tape. Data that is not in the root volume group must be backed up and recovered using normal backup utilities. For more information on using make_tape_recovery, see the make_tape_recovery( 1M) manpage on an Ignite-UX server or the Ignite-UX Administration Guide (http://www.hp.com/go/ ignite-ux-docs).
Choosing HP Data Protector for backup If you are backing up large numbers of systems, the HP Data Protector software product can be particularly useful. HP Data Protector is faster than other backup methods and provides for unattended backup as well. It allows you to efficiently centralize and administer backup procedures. Using HP Data Protector involves setting up a database server and running software that directs and records the backup process for clients.
1 2 P S Serial VGA Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1|2) Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,0)/Pci(4|0) The above is an example of factory defaults. As you will see later in these steps, one of these devices will have to be configured as “primary” (P); the other will have to be configured with a status of “Not Configured” (NC). • If the command does not exist, the system will return the error message: conconfig not found. 2.
Note that the unwanted VGA device in line 2 has the status of NC and the primary console in line 1 has the status of P. 5. Enter: Shell> reset Using the EFI Boot Manager to select the primary HP-UX console To use the EFI Boot Manager to select the primary HP-UX console, proceed with the following steps. 1. Decide what console you want to use. Depending on your system configuration, HP-UX can use one of the following devices as your system console: 2.
1. 2. Insert the DVD into the DVD drive. Find the DVD-ROM device file name: ioscan -C disk -f -n -k | more A typical device name is /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 3. Create a directory under root (/). For example: mkdir /dvdrom 4. Mount the DVD onto the new directory as a file system. For example: mount /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /dvdrom Unmounting the DVD You must unmount the DVD before you can eject it from the DVD drive. For example: umount /dvdrom Note the DVD is automatically unmounted whenever the server reboots.
WARNING Indicates something out of the ordinary, but not fatal. The warning might require action from you. NOTE Indicates useful information you must take note of, but not fatal. The note does not require action from you. NOTE: For information about harmless messages currently known to appear, see “Messages you can ignore” (page 74).
The higher security levels are dependent on Sec00Tools. Recommended (default-installed). Sec10Host Installs a host-based lock-down system. Most network services are disabled, but they can be reinstated by running the bastille(1M) command. Optional (customer-selectable). Sec20MngDMZ Installs a managed lock-down system that blocks most incoming traffic with an HP-UX IPFilter firewall. Optional. Sec30DMZ Installs a DMZ full host-based and IPFilter network lock down.
with each number typically representing the location of a hardware component on the path to the device. The new agile view increases the reliability, adaptability, performance, and scalability of the mass storage stack, all without the need for operator intervention. For more information, see the white papers “The Next Generation Mass Storage Stack: HP-UX 11i v3” and “HP-UX 11i v3 Persistent DSF Migration Guide” (http://hp.com/go/hpux-core-docs ).
5 Cold-installing HP-UX 11i v3 from local media This chapter describes cold-installing HP-UX 11i v3 from local OE media.
Preparing to cold-install The following sections describe the initial steps you must take before proceeding with your installation. Also included is a graphic overview of the cold-install process. CAUTION: The cold-install process overwrites everything on all disks selected to participate in the installation. Make sure you have reviewed and completed the steps in “Backing up your system” (page 23).

Use the collection tables in the following situations: • When you choose the Advanced Installation (the default Ignite-UX option starting with version C.7.5), an interface gives you the opportunity to enter all of this data at the beginning of the install. The interface is a tabbed file folder and is character-based. • If you choose to network-enable your system, you must designate a unique host name, host Internet Protocol (IP) address, and other network information for your server.
Table 8 Miscellaneous data (continued) Type of data Your specific data (WWID might have been presented to the WWPN in the VC profile that to be used with the Blade. The profile must be assigned to the Blade prior to HP-UX install.
Booting Your Itanium-based system 1. 2. 3. Make sure any external devices that need to be configured at cold-install are connected to the target system and are turned on and operational. Insert the HP-UX 11i v3 DVD (Disk 1) into the drive. Turn the system on, reboot, or cycle power. If the system boots automatically, the kernel scans the system for I/O devices. If the system does not boot automatically, it goes to the boot menu. It is a timed menu; press any key to stop the timer.
NOTE: The search or sea command will only display legacy hardware paths and will not display agile hardware paths. You will see the agile hardware path after booting your system. Note that both forms of hardware paths are supported (legacy and agile) and you can specify either hardware path in the Boot command. However, only the legacy hardware path can be displayed from the Search command.
• For Help, use Ctrl-K for navigation-key help and Ctrl-F (or F1) for context-sensitive help. • You can enter the underlined letter of an item (such as I for install HP-UX) to navigate more quickly. The remainder of this section describes how to choose the degree of customization needed to configure your installation. 1. If the installation detects that you have a PS2 or USB keyboard, the system displays the Language Mapping screen.
For further information, including disk requirements, supported peripherals, and preparing the client for installation, see the Ignite-UX Administration Guide (http://www.hp.com/go/ ignite-ux-docs). NOTE: The lunpath hardware path selected is used only to identify the Root Disk itself, and any available path to that disk may then be used as boot path. Therefore, it is normal to see a different lunpath hardware path to the disk used as boot path. 4. 5.
7. Use the System tab to configure system parameters such as security levels, host name, IP address, root password, and the time zone. You must set the appropriate security setting for your system at this time. You can choose to set the other system parameters now or at the first boot of your system, using set_parms(1M). To set the appropriate security settings for your system, do the following. IMPORTANT: You must become familiar with the security levels before you set them.
You might need to select or specify other available networking drivers to enable other cards on your system. 1. To use a keyboard on this interface, you must specify a language mapping to be used by X Windows and the Internal Terminal Emulator (ITE). Choose the appropriate language. For English, select number 26. 2. You are prompted to answer a few questions before you can use the system. The first is whether or not you plan to use the system on a network.
Restoring /home If you had a local home directory, you can restore it as follows: • For instance, if you copied it to /backup/system1/home, enter these commands: cd /backup/system1/home find . -depth | cpio -pdm /system1/home • If you backed it up to tape with fbackup, enter: frecover -x -i /system1/home -v Restoring other files Carefully use the same techniques to restore other files and directories, such as /usr, /local, and /opt.
6 Updating to HP-UX 11i v3 This chapter describes updating to HP-UX 11i v3 using update-ux to selectively overwrite the operating system and application software from a DVD or network source depot.
Preparing to update The following sections describe the initial steps you must take before proceeding with your update. Also included is a graphic overview of the update process. Completing the preliminary tasks Before you update to HP-UX 11i v3, make sure that: • You have assessed the current state of your system and have met all the requirements described in Chapter 2: “Assessing your system and meeting system requirements” (page 10).

Appendix Checklist □ “Messages you can ignore” (page 74) □ “Known install and update problems” (page 77) IMPORTANT: Be sure to review the latest version of this document. It can be found online at http://www.hp.com/go/hpux-core-docs-11iv3 and might include additional harmless messages and known problems.
Messages you can ignore Table 15 describes harmless messages currently known to appear while installing or updating to HP-UX 11i v3. Table 15 Messages you can ignore When/where seen Message/action When the BOE is installed from the DC-OE, HA-OE, or VSE-OE media, an erroneous listing for HA Monitors might appear When the BOE is installed from the DC-OE, HA-OE, or VSE-OE media, an erroneous listing for HA Monitors (bundle B5736DA) might be displayed.
Table 15 Messages you can ignore (continued) When/where seen Message/action As part of upgrade, VxFS/VxVM 5.0 patches are automatically selected for install. The patch PHCO_41129 installs the link to fsppmk and other files as needed by VxFS/VxVM 5.0. As this patch is installed in the upgrade process after the Base-VxFS-51 is installed, it overwrites the Symbolic link for fsppmk as needed by VxFS 5.1. Hence, the error messages occur.
Table 15 Messages you can ignore (continued) When/where seen Message/action on your system will remain when you update to HP-UX 11i v3 March 2010 (or later) from HP-UX 11i v2 or an earlier version of HP-UX 11i v3. Updating from HP-UX 11i v2 to HP-UX 11i v3 might cause the following error to appear in swagent.log: 76 Harmless messages and known problems cp: cannot access /.secure/etc/*: No such file or directory What to do You can safely ignore this message.
Known install and update problems Table 16 describes problems currently known to occur while installing and/or updating to HP-UX 11i v3. Table 16 Known install and update problems Problem Description/action When doing vxresize(1M) on a mirrored volume with DCO version 20 configured, vxconfigd(1M) might hang. PHKL_43527 (which is part of 1403 QPK) causes a behavior in which vxconfigd(1M) might hang when doing vxresize(1M) on a mirrored volume with DCO version 20 configured.

B Installing the Symantec products VxFS, OnlineJFS, LVM, and VxVM Starting with HP-UX 11i v3 March 2014 Operating Environment Update Release (OEUR), VxFS 5.1 SP1 is a required (always-installed) product. The default configuration for all systems using March 2014 is VxFS 5.1 SP1 plus Logical Volume Manager (LVM). VxFS 4.1 and OnlineJFS 4.1 are still available in HP-UX 11i v3, and you still have the ability to use those previous versions in a supported environment for the lifecycle of HP-UX 11i v3.
Starting with March 2014 release, VxVM 5.0.1 has been replaced by VxVM 5.1 SP1, and VxVM 5.0.1 is no longer included on the OEUR and AR media. Note that VxVM 5.1 SP1 is still optional and LVM is installed by default. To install VxVM 5.1 SP1, you must select it in Ignite-UX. Supported 5.1 SP1 configurations During cold-install or update, supported VxFS 5.1 SP1 and VxVM 5.1 SP1 installations are achievable with the proper selections in the Ignite-UX tool.
